Open circuit voltage is the voltage at the electrode before striking an arc (with no current being drawn).

The higher the open circuit voltage, the easier it is to strike an arc because of the initial higher voltage pressure.

What is pre-fault voltage?

It is simply the voltage of the system before the fault occurs.. Most probably this is the voltage of healthy system...


Does voltage split equally in parallel?

The voltage going into each parallel node will be equal to the voltage of the node before it, as long as the resistance is the same. For example, if you have a current of 5 volts split between two 1k ohm resistors, each 1k ohm will have 5 volts before the resistor drops the voltage.


What is definition of residual voltage?

Net voltage in the Neutral of a three phase electrical system is called residual voltage.


Why is a Schmitt trigger called a regenerative comparator?

A Schmitt Trigger is a comparator, because it compares its input voltage to a "threshold" voltage, but it has _two_ threshold voltages (the upper and lower trigger voltages), and which threshold voltage is used depends on the output state. If the input voltage is higher than the upper trigger voltage, the output will be high (for a non-inverting Schmitt trigger). In this state, the input is compared to the lower threshold voltage, so the input now has to go below the lower threshold voltage before the output will go low. The threshold voltage depends on the output state, such that a high output selects the lower threshold voltage, and a low output selects the upper threshold voltage. This can be visualised as using a fixed threshold but adding a small voltage (the difference between the upper and lower threshold voltages, also called the hysteresis voltage) to the input voltage before it is compared. This small added voltage is high when the output is high, and low when the output is low. A small amount of the output voltage is effectively being added to the input voltage before it is compared to a fixed threshold. This is positive feedback, also called regenerative feedback. So a Schmitt trigger operates as a voltage comparator, and a small amount of the output is added to the input, so it uses positive or regenerative feedback.


How do you connect your two 250w solar panels in a 24v system?

The best would be parallel as these panels normally have > 30V output voltage, which would be sufficient for a 24V inverter/load.There is also a risk of overvoltage on your charge controller connecting them in series, check if your charge contrroller can accommodate the sum of the max output voltage of the 2 panels before attemptins series on this configuration.There are additional efficiency advantages of connecting your panels parallel.

Why do you change polarity DCRP-DCSP in SMAW?

Using DCSP when welding thin material causes more heat to be concentrated in the electrode than in the base metal. This prevents the arc from burning thru thin materials before the electrode melts.


What is stick welding?

Stick welding is a process in which a metal joint is fused together by the intense heat generated by an electrical arc. The "stick" in stick welding comes from the stick electrode that acts as the arc emitter and as a filler rod. It is used in various welding applications especially for heavy metal work. It is commonly used for this because of the ease of transmitting a powerful arc though the stick electrode.


What is preheating in welding?

welding cast iron is not reccomended although it can be done,myself i have always had the best luck by preheating the cast iron to almost cherry red then using a low hydrogen electrode such as 7018 which is fairly common,there is also an electrode known as inconel which contains the alloy nickel,but its hard to find and very expensive

Do you need tools for welding?

Every welder ought to have many clamps! C-clamps, vice grips, wide mouth vice grips (snap clamps) and bar clamps; a nice dead blow (metal mallet covered in rubber,) wire brush to clean welding area before and after weld, good grinder to grind down a finished weld. Also setup blocks, but that's only in R&D and precision welding shops.


Management of welding materials in space frame company?

Acceptance of welding materials The quality of welding materials must meet relevant standards. Before the welding materials are put into the warehouse, the warehouse management shall first verify whether the following relevant materials are complete, otherwise they shall not be put into the warehouse, and the materials shall be properly kept for future reference. ①Qualification certificate of welding materials ② Brand and mark of welding materials ③Batch number, specification and quantity of welding materials The material manager is responsible for the appearance inspection and re-inspection of the welding materials, and the unqualified products shall not be put into the warehouse. Storage of welding materials The storage of welding materials is mainly to prevent the corrosion of the welding wire and the steel core of the welding rod, and to prevent the coating of the welding rod as well from being damp, deteriorated, or even falling off, thus affecting normal use. The drying of the normally stored welding rod, welding tip, flux and flux-cored wire before use is an important part of welding quality management. 1.The space frame company that uses welding rods should set up a special welding material warehouse. The welding rods, welding wires, fluxes and welding tips should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place and kept by a dedicated person. 2.Thermometers and dehumidifiers should be installed in the welding material warehouse. The indoor temperature should not be lower than 5℃, the relative humidity should not be higher than 60℃, and the ventilation should be good. 3.Dedicated drying box and constant temperature box should be installed in the warehouse. 4.Eye-catching baking specifications should be hung in the warehouse, and management personnel should strictly follow the specifications 5.Welding management personnel shall establish accounts and mark the cards according to classification, brand number, specification, and batch number, and ensure that the accounts, cards, and objects are consistent. 6.Welding materials must not be stacked on the spot, and should be more than 20 mm away from the ground and 300 mm away from the wall 7.Special attention should be paid to the environmental humidity in the storage of welding rods 8.The higher the relative humidity and temperature in the air, the higher the partial pressure of water vapor, and the easier it is for the skin to absorb moisture. It is generally recommended that the relative humidity in the air be less than 60%, and a certain distance (about 20 cm) away from the ground and walls. The temperature is preferably 10 to 25°C. 9.The drying temperature of low-hydrogen electrode should be 350-380℃, and the holding time should be 1.5-2h. After drying, it should be slowly cooled and placed in an incubator at 110-120℃ for storage and use; In the insulation cylinder; if the dried low-hydrogen electrode is placed in the atmosphere for more than 4 hours, it should be re-dried; the number of repeated drying of the electrode cannot exceed twice; the damp electrode cannot be used. 10.Welding rods, welding tips, fluxes and flux-cored welding wires must be dried in accordance with the product manual and relevant process documents before use. 11.The heating, temperature measurement and temperature control performance of the welding rod, flux drying device and heat preservation device should meet the requirements of use. 12.Distinguish the type and specification of the electrode, and it can't be misused. 13.In the process of welding rod transportation and the other party, always pay attention not to damage the coating and the other party should not be too high. We should be more careful about welding rods with poor coating strength.

The prehaet temperature is taken before welding starts. The interpass temperature is taken between welding passes.
